Sam Hall

(альбом: 1000 Years Of Popular Music - 2003)

My name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep (Chimney sweep)
Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep (Chimney sweep)
My name it is Sam Hall
And I rob both great and small
And now I pay for all
Well damn my eyes (Damn my eyes)

They say I killed a man, so they said (So they said)
Oh they say I killed a man, so they said (So they said)
I hit him on the head
With a great big lump of lead
And I left him there for dead
Well blast his eyes! (Blast his eyes)

So they put me in a quad, in a quad (In a quad)
(That's prison)
Oh they put me in a quad, in a quad (In a quad)
They put me in a quad
And they tied me to a log
And they left me there by God
Well damn their eyes! (Damn their eyes)

And the preacher he did come, he did come (He did come)
Oh the preacher he did come, he did come (He did come)
The preacher he did come
And he talked of Kingdom Come
He can kiss my bloody bum
Well damn his eyes! (Damn his eyes)

And the hangman he comes too, he comes too (He comes too)
Oh the hangman he comes too, he comes too (He comes too)
Oh the hangman he comes too
And all his bloody crew
Saying "Sam, there's work to do"
Well damn your eyes! (Damn your eyes)

So it's up the rope I go, rope I go (Rope I go)
Oh it's up the rope I go, rope I go (Rope I go)
Oh it's up the rope I go
And I sees you there below
Saying "Sam, we told you so"
Well damn your eyes! (Damn your eyes)

I see Mollie in the crowd, in the crowd (In the crowd)
Oh I sees Mollie in the crowd, in the crowd (In the crowd)
I sees Mollie in the crowd
And I hollers right out loud
"Mollie, ain't you bloody proud?"
Well blast your eyes! (Boo!)

So this will be my knell, be my knell (Be my knell)
Oh this will be my knell, be my knell (Be my knell)
This will be my funeral knell
And I'll see you all in Hell
And I hopes you frizzles well
Well damn your eyes! (Boo!)

Thank you very much.
